Honor to Whom Honor is Due.

Isn't it just a little peculiar that
none of the leading journals of the
State nor their correspondents have
noted the fact that the Woman
Christian Temperance Union was
the "procuring cause" of the Scien-
tifc instruction law? Indeed, but
few have noted the fact at all edl-
toriaIly. It is hardly to be sup
posed, however, that in the midst
of the desperate Senatorial con-
fict where money and political
patronage are appealing to avarice
and ambition, that the welfare of
the rising generation should re-
ceive the attention of these mold
ers of public opinion.

Enforcement of the Scientific
instruction Law.

Let the friends Of Scientific In
struction
"Ne'er think the victory won,
Nor once at ease sit down."
The real work, pertaining to
that department has just begun.
While the law requires that
teachers shall be able to stand an
examination in the study, and that
it shall be taught in the same way
and given the same prominence as
any other branch of education, it
is one thing to observe the letter,
and quite another, the spirit of the
law. The evasion of the law is
more likely to occur from apathy
than from opposition in our State. 1t
becomes the duty of the friends of
the measure to follow up the man
ner in which its specifications are
carried out by both teachers and
school boards. This may be done
by in teresting ourselves in the ex-
aminations held upon the subject,
the attendance upon institutes, OBJ
serving what prominence is given
it there, visiting the public
schools and noting methods of in
struction and the Offering of prizes
for the best examinations and essays
upon this subject. Vigilance in
all these particulars is inuispensa-
BILE to a thorough enforcement of
the law, And since no enc can
be more interested in this law
than those who secured it's passage,
the organization will look to local
Superintendent of Scientific In
struction for assistance in secur-
ing its enforcement.

The Difference in People.

There are two ways of meeting
an obligation; one by inclosing the
money in querulous letter, stat
ing you did not expect to be an
noyed by duns when you sub
scribed, another in the following
tone:
Enclosed find three dollars, the
amount to date of nv subscrip-
ton to the w. G. T. U. | feel the
deepest interest in your work.
Hoping the coming year will ful-
FL your highest anticipations, |
am your friend, H. w. NJ"

the two individuals with the op-
posite results recorded above.

The st. Adams Union Anxious to
Get at the Root of the Ltq-
uOr Traffic.

The St. Adams Union, believing
that the National Government is
partner in the liquor traffic, at
recent meeting, passed resolution
requesting the National and State
Unions to memorialize Congress in
behalf of Constitutional Prohib-
itory Enactment, forbidding the
Importation, manufacture and sale
of malt and spirituous liquors in
the United States.
Such movement is already on
foot, and we are glad the St. Adams
Union is alive to it's Importance.

The Parkersburg Y. W. C. T. U.
Pulled Taffy.

We had the pleasure of enter
tanning the WV. C.T.U.o Parkers-
burg on the evening, of Feb. 18th
and it was q genuine pleasure.
The order of the evening was taffy
pulling but this by no means &C.
cupied the entire time. Wheeling
was represented by Mr.. Milligan,
whose musical talents lent much
to the pleasure Of the occasion.
Two new songs that had been sent
us by the W. T. P. A,-"W. G. T.
U. Anthem" and "She Sails by
the Stars" we found really beauti-
full and com mend them to those de-
string music of that kind. Miss
Cynt hia Martin read "The Story of
Patsy" one of the most humor-
Gus and pathetic recitals of a
Undergraduates experience with
a street waif, that we ever read.
The announcement that the taffy
was ready was the signal for
hilarity and informality. Since
it is never expected at a "set taffy
pulling" that the tatfy will be
"done to turn"there was no disap-
pointment when the predomina Mt
characteristic of the saccharine
substance was adhesiveness. La
ter in the evening the poetical tai.
ent of the company was brought out
in a game of "Crambo." Slips of
paper containing question were
passed to each Individual, another
member of the company giving a
word. The game consists in an
swering the question in rhyme,
longer or shorter as the inspiration
of the writer may dictate, the an
swer containing the word given.
We are sorry we are not in pos
session of some of these illusions
illustrating the game, as they
were really bright and witty. Thus
ended one of the pleasantest of
winter evenings in the Freeman
household and we really hope our
invitation to ''come again." will be
received in the spirit in which it
was given.

Sunday evening at the usual hour
of church service. The effort will
be the first of a series of Sunday

A number of ladies of the W. G.

A Wrong Inference.

An analysis of the vote against
the bill for raising the "age OF con.
sent" from - to Is years might
Justify the inference that the gen.
tlemen voting for its rejection re.
garded the bill as a menace to
some vital principle OF the
Democratic party. Possibly they
regarded it as an Infringement of
the personal liberty plank of
that platform. Of the 80 voting
against it, 81 were Democrats.

To-day's Mail.

The letters received at noon, Feb.
18th, are worthy of note. All ex-
cepting two contained money
for our work. One of these two
being from Mrs. Buell. with envel-
opes and suggestions for raising
money, the other from the staunch
friend who has shown his loyalty
to the Women's Christian Tenn
perance Union of this State by
four weeks of unremitting watch
ing of our interests which have
been before the Legislature. We
refer to the editor in chief OF the
Freeman. The contents of these
letters are worth reproducing in
full, but lack of space compels US
to confne ourselves to extracts
which we believe will be as en-
couraging to others as they were
to US. Here they are:
Though filthy lucre" is scarce,
1 can certainly try to give less
than a cent day to cause 80 just

Editorial Notes.

Pending the announcement of
the final action on the Submission
of the Amendment, the friends of
Prohibition are rushing a prohibi.
tory act through the Legislature.
Since the Amendment requires a
two-thirds vote and a prohibitory
act only the majority of, a quorum,
hopes are entertained of its sue
cessful passage. Our opinion is
only from a woman's standpoint.
but we must confess our misgiv-
ings that the enforcement of pro-
hibition under the present regime
will give fresh occasion for the CRY
"Prohibition does not prohibit" A
law to be faithfully enforced must
have officers in sympathy with it,
as we'll as the backing of the DOM
inant political party. Non-parti-
san enforcement which means no
party enforcement is the basis of
all argument against the efficacy
of Prohibition.
The question "Where shall our
next State Convention be held" is
being asked and must soon be set
tied. Invitations are in order.
A call for the meeting of the
State Executive Committee has
been issued but the date has not
yet been fixed. The place of meet
ing will be Parkersburg.

Attention. Local Unions.
DEAR SISTERS:

DEAR OleTERS.
The time is rapidly approach
ing when we must begin our years
reckoning in order that our State
Treasurer may send our National
dues TO the National Treasurer.
You will remember at our State
Convention at Wellsburg the con-
stitution was amended making the
mem bership dues sixty cents in
stead of fifty, as heretofore, in Or
der to meet the increased levy
made necessary by the national
Union upon the local member
ship of the State Unions.
From failure to serve the required
years notice the amendment was
unconstitutional, therefore not
binding upon the Unions. The
fact remains, however, that the
State Unions must pay into the
National Treasury ten cents per
capita for each member of it's local
Unions. We need only appeal to
your sense of justice and equity
whether the State with
the heavy drafts upon its treasury,
which your enlarged plans of
work for the present year have
made, should be expected to pay
this additional five cents per mem
Der unless some special provision
is made for it. You can readily
see it will cut down our
resources 25 per cent, while
our expenditures have increased
in much greater ratio. The
dues from the Unions do not be-
gin to meet the demands of our
State work, and we have been
compelled to make personal ap-
peals to friends for the
needed additional funds: and | am
frank to confess this meth cd of
meeting our obligations is the most
distastetul part of my work. I
therefore beg your thoughtful con-
sideration of this matter and your
loyal response to our appeal
for aid. We cannot sepa-
rate our interests nor divide
our obligations since the State is
but an aggregation of the local
Unions.
Hoping that the dues will be
promptly forwarded with ample
provision for the additional levy,
[ am
Faithfully yours,
JANE A. JOHNSON.
